About
This quiz focuses on character analysis and comparison within the context of children's literature, specifically examining the story "Dear Dragon" and its connections to "Dear Primo." The content is appropriate for 3rd grade students who are developing skills in identifying character traits, comparing and contrasting characters across different settings, and understanding how authors use literary elements like setting and illustration to convey meaning. Students need to demonstrate comprehension of character relationships, recognize how friendships develop through correspondence, and analyze how authors make deliberate choices about story elements. The questions require students to synthesize information from text and illustrations, make inferences about character feelings and motivations, and compare themes across multiple texts. Students must understand concepts of major versus minor characters, setting as a story element, and how visual elements support textual meaning. Created by Chay McClellan, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 3. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for assessing student comprehension after a guided reading session or literature circle discussion. Teachers can use this as a formative assessment to gauge whether students have grasped the key concepts of character development and cross-textual connections before moving to independent practice. The quiz works effectively as a follow-up activity after reading both texts, allowing students to demonstrate their ability to make meaningful comparisons between stories with similar themes. It can function as homework to reinforce classroom discussions or as a warm-up review before beginning related writing activities about friendship and pen pal relationships. The questions align with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.3 for describing characters and explaining how their actions contribute to events, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.7 for using illustrations to demonstrate understanding of characters, setting, and plot.
